The South Of France

This is probably the only 100% authentic Puerto Rican food restaurant in the area and the quality is as superb and consistent as it was 20 years ago. I was there yesterday for food and drinks and had a great time. The chicharrones de pollo were cooked and seasoned to perfection. The service is fantastic and the prices are very reasonable. I am going back today for some rice, beans and bistec palomilla, which is the best in New York.

I can’t rave enough how insanely awesome this place is….I’m more of a burger and fries kind of guy tbh but I do love me my Rican food…and this place did NOT disappoint. The food was utterly AMAZING from the chuleta and tostones my lady had (I ate most her tostones lmao) to the steak and fries I had (the fries were hand cut and straight up had that home made vibe and taste…and the steak was practically perfect…super win). Then of course there’s the service …the hostess Natalie was superb with her attentive and pleasant nature… and along with the rest of the staff I was pleasantly surprised of how warm and welcoming everything felt…it straight up felt like going to abuelas during a family event and having good food with good vibes…i honestly haven’t had such a great dining experience like this in AGES and I HIGHLY recommend this place….if I could give more than 5 stars I would! Excelsior!!!!!! Honorable mention; Watching the “abuela” of the establishment handmaking the acapuria right there by the kitchen was so effin cool and made me feel like this place is as authentic as it comes!!!!!! God I love this place!

First time eating from this restaurant and I was not disappointed whatsoever! My bf being the Bronx native he is said the food was good so we decided to share the picada platter small size. I asked for 4 slices of lime and some blue cheese. They gave me a whole tub of lime! I was so impressed because usually Hispanic restaurants in NYC tend to give 2 slices or none! I would definitely like to dine in and order an entree!
